Trematon Castle
Trematon Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey site near Saltash in Cornwall featuring a raised stone shell keep on a high motte and a 13th-century rectangular gatehouse. Much of the Norman masonry survives and the castle overlooks the Lynher River. The site has later domestic additions in the courtyard but the medieval keep and gatehouse define the castle's plan.

As it stood in 1270
The shape it held in its prime.
An oval stone shell keep sits atop a steep, terraced motte, its grey rubble walls rising as a near-circular drum with a crenellated parapet; walls are about 30 feet high and around ten feet thick, enclosing an internal diameter of roughly 21 metres. A rectangular two-storey stone gatehouse with a portcullis stands at the bailey entrance, and a low curtain wall extends from the motte across the slope. The hilltop site commands the Lynher valley below, with grassy terraces around the mound.
